The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
47.
“... And here is where I used to practice swords. Now maybe I'm smarter than Parlo! Although he is the worst, hahaha.”
“Anne, Hera! I'll talk about what happened yesterday to Dad. Do you remember the guy's appearance?”
Rein did not want to talk about this in front of everyone, so he decided not to tell her about it at breakfast this morning. What's more when they were with Prince Kasius, and when Kak Luna thanked Anne for the gift.
“Ah yes, we must catch it immediately! I don't remember exactly, but it looks like he has the same height as Kak Rein, with black hair and slightly dark skin as well.”
“It also has a heavy and deep voice. He also used a slightly different accent from the nobles of Terra. That's all I remember clearly.”
“It looks like the eye color is black. Hm, or chocolate? I'm not sure.”
“Good. I'll pass it on to my father and maybe even Brother Arthur. They'll probably send you some bodyguards when you get back, but be careful Anne.”
“Yes, thank you guys for being so attentive to me.”
“Of course Anne! You are my precious friend and my father has also been friends with your father since long ago.”
“Iya Anne's. Wart is also an enemy of Terra, however we must catch him.”
“WHAT?! A wart? He's the guy from the Wart? You weren't threatened or anything like that, Anne? Or were you almost kidnapped? Whoa! Means I did come at the right time yesterday!”
“Em .. not like that Hera. She ... she only ...” Anne was confused as to how to explain it to Hera.
“Oh, anyway you have to tell me everything later. But why do you know Rein?”
“Hm, Anne told me. We also have to find out how he can get into Terra even to the party with very tight security yesterday.”
“Really! I admit as a Wart, he's pretty smart. It's a pity that my great-grandfather couldn't defeat Wart just yet, because he had made a peace treaty with Verdant and Crotta. Very lucky for them. Huft.”
In order to fight the Warts, they had to pass Verdant or by sea. But the Warts are famous for their sea-going abilities, moreover they must sail around the continent if they want to fight the Warts.
Naturally they did not continue their assault. After all Warts were also not a fertile and rich territory, attacking them would not be profitable.
“Haha, we'll beat him now. Alright I won't bother you anymore, you guys have fun.”
After getting the necessary info, Rein immediately went to see his father.
“Well, Anne. Let's tell you everything from the beginning.”
“Yes, as a personal bodyguard miss, I also have to know everything that happens in order to act quickly if something like this happens again.”
Hans, who used to be quiet in public, also did not accept because Anne did not tell anything yesterday. For Anne's safety, of course she needs to know.

“Be careful on Anne's road! Don't forget to let me know if anything happens!”
“Hans, please increase the security at the Voinn residence, and never leave Anne alone. You can also give them orders”
Rein pointed to the guards the Emperor had prepared for Anne.
“It's quiet, your majesty. I'm so ashamed this could happen to Miss. I won't let my guard down anymore.”
“This time is not your fault Hans. We should have been more careful.”
“Already, we are indeed a little complacent because it has not happened for a long time anything.”
“I will soon talk about this to Brother Chris. After knowing that Kak Louis and Verto are still alive, surely the nobles will be willing to help.”
“Yes, if the nobles have agreed, the Emperor can directly direct the entire army of Terra.”
“Although not much I can promise in return ...”
“Yang will definitely be better, than when Verdant was led by Wart.”
“Trading with Verdant is currently completely cut off. It is certain Terra was also harmed because of this.”
“So we'll keep chatting here? Or we go back inside?”
“Hahaha, Brother Chris and the others must have been waiting. See you, Brother Rein, Hera.”
“I'll visit Anne often!” Hera said before the train left.
—
“Already all miss.”
“How about Kent and the others?”
“Gevdi said that he and the others would not go to Terra. They're just gonna drive Mr. Louis over the border and back to Kent. So we send supplies to the bodyguards who pick up at the border.”
“Hopefully they can escape before the supplies run out. Kent must have been up to something. I've told him to look for some secret passageways that are in the palace.”
“Nona, they're close.”
“Oh, nanny. Do you already know about the situation of father, mother, and others?”
“Kent must have told him, miss.”
“Oh, yes also.”
—
“Slow-slow Ben! I'll lift it to the wheelchair.” Hans, who saw they were in trouble, immediately ran to help.
“Sister Louis! Is your sister healthy now?”
“Thank you Hans. Anne, thank goodness you're okay. I was so relieved when I met Kent and heard everything.”
“Kakak .. mother already ...” Anne did not expect to be so happy to meet her family.
“Oh Anne, I'm sorry you had to deal with this all by yourself. I'm so proud of you.”
Louis pulled Anne into his arms. He doesn't care about his sore feet and his dirty clothes. She had very rarely met Anne, because she was busy helping her father. She could not remember the last time she held Anne.
Nanny also shed tears at their meeting, this moment is very beautiful like a painting.

“I heard you guys still haven't found Verto?”
“Iya. We have given various marks, but it is still very difficult to find.”
“I understand his feelings. While hiding, I did not dare to take any risks, despite the obvious signs. Precisely because it was too obvious, it was very suspicious. If I wasn't paralyzed, maybe I would've moved.”
“So what should I do sister?”
“How long has it been since you sent the search team?”
“We sent twenty men, led by the head of the Porta army. It had been about four months since they left. They always come back every month to rest and report their search.”
“Ah, Brother Jeremy also went to search. But I didn't hear much from him. Did he send any news Kak?”
“Ah, the. Not much Anne. It is the same.” Chris glanced at Louis nervously.
“Do they know where Verto is?” Louis understood Chris's intentions.
“From their last report, it looks like Verto is around Verdant east or south.”
“Then he must be in the west.”
“Eh? Really?” Anne also heard their reports every month, and she also thought Verto was in the east.
“He must have deliberately made a false trace. He is very good at hiding and can survive well since childhood. We must give a sign that is only known by our family.”
“Ehm .. like about my whereabouts?”
“No, more like …. How about this? We have them spread gossip.”
“Gossip?”
“Haha, he will definitely run looking for us when hearing this.”
